Abstract

In the present work the propagation of a fast ionization wave (FIW) within a long discharge tube filled by electronegative gas is investigated both experimentally and theoretically. In the theoretical model, the existence of the radial potential profile, the dependence of plasma parameters at each space point on processes in the whole tube and the temporal transformation of electron energy distribution function are taken into account. The parameters of the plasma in the wave front and behind it, the energy deposition in the discharge and the attenuation of the wave during FIW propagation are obtained. The problem of the initial electron concentration is considered.
